Grief doesn’t take a holiday.

If you’re feeling the weight of the season, you're not broken and you’re not doing it wrong. The absence of someone you love can feel even louder right now.

I want to share a resource that may bring comfort: David Kessler’s free holiday grief support group. It’s a safe community for anyone struggling with loss this time of year. David is the best of the best in the grief therapy world and I have learned so much from him. Check out the link to register here

If you need additional support, please reach out—no one should have to navigate grief alone.

When you’re in grief, the holidays can be so challenging.
This time of year can feel so painful. The world is loud with joy — and inside, you’re aching.
I am offering a complimentary grief support series for anyone struggling this holiday season.
In these three December sessions, you'll find gentle space for:
Coping with holiday grief

Navigating family and expectations

Honoring your person

Taking care of yourself without apology

Love so many of these suggestions!

It takes time to heal.
To unlearn survival mode.
To realize that chaos isn’t love.
That silence isn’t safety.
And that the world is so much wider than the one you were raised in.

Just because you were born in the fire
doesn’t mean you’re destined to live there.

There is peace.
There is stillness.
There is life beyond survival.

And you deserve every bit of it.

Great suggestions by one of my favourites, Dr. Becky! I shared #2 to my daughter today as I dropped her off to March Break camp!

Anxiety can show up in childhood in so many different ways—some obvious, some more subtle.

👉Separation anxiety – struggles with goodbyes, clinginess, bedtime fears.
👉Social anxiety – worries about fitting in, fear of rejection.
👉Big worries – deep thoughts about death, illness, or world issues that feel overwhelming.
👉Nighttime anxiety – racing thoughts, trouble settling, needing you close at bedtime.

No matter how it shows up, one thing remains true: our kids don’t need to feel better—they need to feel at home with themselves. And when we help them regulate their emotions, we make room for lighter feelings, too.

If you’re dealing with any kind of anxiety in your child, I have good news. My new live workshop, Parenting Kids with Anxiety, is happening live on March 12 at 12 pm! (And yes, this framework will help kid’s anxiety, no matter how it shows up.)

You’ll walk away able to understand your kid’s anxiety, help them navigate worries, develop resilience, and build confidence. Click the link in my bio for all of the details. I can’t wait to see so many of you there.

Dr. Becky touches on a topic here that comes up all the time when I'm with parents in therapy sessions. Shout out to all the cycle breakers out there! Parenting can be difficult, but you've got this and I'm here to support you!

Oh my heart... the story with the teacher at the end of the article.... Hats off to the great educators out there!

Kids with ADHD have big emotions, and parents shouldn’t act like they don’t matter. Learn how to validate your child’s feelings.

As the year comes to a close, I want to thank all of my amazing clients. I know I say it all the time, but I really do have the best job in the world, and it's because of all of you.

I'll be taking some time off over the holiday season to spend with my family and do a little self-care, so I will be a little slower than usual in answering emails. Here's a list of my hours over the next couple of weeks.

Wishing everyone a gentle holiday season and a great year ahead!

Because sometimes it’s nice to slow things down for a while…🧖‍♀️
